Veterinarians began prescribing a number of drugs for a wide variety of behavior problems. Unfortunately, in many cases, a specific diagnosis is never determined. Consequently, even with improvement of the animal’s behavior, it is difficult to predict what situations are best suited for that drug. In veterinary medicine, there has always been a tendency to try a new behavior drug to treat all types of problem behaviors. In the past, however, there was usually only a single drug to try. Today there are a large number of human psychotropic drugs available from a variety of pharmacologic classifications.
